FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

1) Musk needs to keep Tesla stock price up, 2) He has installed loyalists (and Starlink) at strategic locations, 3) He and Thiel are sucking all government data to target and harm Americans into xAI and Palantir, 4) never relent in placing pressure on both him and Tesla.
